I have DI-524 wireless router, a laptop with wireless adapter and a Desktop. The goal is to connect laptop and PC to each other... and also get internet connection through a modem, which will be connected to DI-254.
I tried the following 3 ways:
a)
Internet Modem connects to <-> WAN port of router using ethernet cable.
Laptop connects to the router wirelessly
Desktop connects to router by wire to the WLAN-1 PORT using ethernet cable
Issue: Desktop does not get internet access
b)
Internet Modem connects to <-> WLAN-1 port of router using ethernet cable.
Laptop connects to the router wirelessly
Desktop connects to router by wire to the WLAN-2 PORT using ethernet cable
Issue: Laptop does not get internet access
c)
Internet Modem connects to <-> WLAN-1 port of router using ethernet cable.
Laptop connects to <-> WLAN-2 port of router using Ethernet cable.
Desktop connects to router by wire to the WLAN-3 PORT using ethernet cable
Issue: Both Laptop & Desktop get internet access but I end up connecting laptop through ethernet cable although wireless adapter is present in it.
Also, in none of the above cases I'm able access DESKTOP from LAPTOP or viceversa.
Please let me know the solution. Note that wireless router has default factory settings. Is it something do with ethernet cable that I am using... use straight or cross cables?
Do you need to see the desktop or just share folders from each other? If the latter then you need to do the following:
Use Windows Explorer and select a folder you want to share. Right click and select sharing and security.
On the sharing tab click on Share this folder. Enter a share name ( I like to enter the PC name _folder name; Rick1_Downloads)
Click on Permissions. If your ok with everyone using the PC's and Laptops having access then highlight Everyone and click on Full Control.
Do this on each PC and Laptop.
That should be it or darned near close.
The scenario you described in "A" is correct.
If you open a web browser on the desktop and enter 192.168.0.1 can you get to the admin screen for the router? The default userid is admin and the password is left blank. There is a wizard built in to the router that should get you going.
If you can't login to the router then check: Start, network connections and be sure there is a network connection defined, it's not disabled and status is connected.
Let me know how that works out.
I just spent a half hour or more of my time to try to help you out and you rate my efforts as innapropriate????
What is wrong with you. Good luck getting any more help a-hole

Actually, I want to see the shared folders. I'm familiar with sharing process. However, the machine itself is not found in the network.
